Add TimSort implementation and UI entries

Introduce TimSort support across the app: add TIM_SORT_WIKI to UrlConstants, implement timSort (with insertionSortRange and mergeRanges) in SortingService to produce SortSnapshot sequences (uses RUN=32, sorts runs then merges, marks comparing/unsorted/sorted states), and wire the algorithm into SortingComponent (UI entry and case branch). Also add TIMSORT_EXPLANATION translations in de.json and en.json, and add a few UI label keys (STIFFNESS, ELONGATION, RESTART_SIMULATION) to both locale files.
